Act of Mercy...

While the whole world seems to rejoice in the death of Osama Bin Laden..this morning I begin to question myself...should i rejoice myself too? It is very disturbing for me indeed. We all know the violent and the barbaric acts attached to the late Osama but then who are we to judge him. I was sharing with a dear friend and I praise the Lord for I have a friend who share the same views as I do. I asked and which I believed to be the most silly question of the decade...well to me it is..."Shall we pray for Osama's soul or shall we continue to condemn and judged him?"
The answer was: OUR LORD DIED FOR THE WHOLE WORLD AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE AND SO OF COURSE WE MUST PRAY FOR OSAMA'S SOUL......
And so fellow Christians lets put aside our remarks and say a humble prayer for Osama's soul.

I just would like to take this opportunity to share our late Pope John Paul II's act of mercy and forgiveness towards Mehmet Ali Agca who attempted to shoot our Pope but failed in May 13, 1981.
Our Pope during Christmas 1983 visited Mehmet Ali Agca in prison...talked and forgave him and in February 2005 Pope John Paul II received a handwritten letter in Italian from Mehmet Ali Agca...wishing the pope a speedy recovery. Its touching but yet its a real life drama for us catholic christians....and so lets join hands and pray. God bless all.
